A Dozen Teams To Keep An Eye On:
Florida Gulf Coast
Dunk City lost top scorer Sherwood Brown (15.5 PPG), and former coach Andy Enfield left for Los Angeles. But the majority of the players who fueled last season's Sweet 16 run, including Brett Comer and Bernard Thompson, are back. Overall, four of the team's top five scorers return. New coach Joe Dooley has a lot of talent to work with.

A Dozen Players to keep an eye on:

Brett Comer, Florida Gulf Coast: Comer earned national recognition when he led FGCU, a.k.a. Dunk City, to the Sweet 16. He had 12 points, 10 assists and six rebounds in his team's win over Georgetown. He finished with 10 points and 14 assists in a win over San Diego State. Although he struggled in a seven-assist, nine-turnover effort in a loss to Florida in the Sweet 16, his return is significant for a program with potential.

would've expected a few more posters here this year after last season's success for your school. How 'bout a-registerin' and a-postin' FGCUers?

Kinda mind boggling that there's not a couple of FGCU posters here somewhere.

Still, since my school's team sucks raw eggs yet another year in a row in basketball, I'll be a 'fan' for a while longer. Latest standings:

They split the season series with Mercer, so not sure what the tiebreakers are for the tournament. Mercer was set to break a very long drought of not going to the NCAAs.

Tie-breaker was record against Upstate. FGCU 2-0 and Mercer 1-1.

Working on that tomorrow! Come over to the SoCon boards. These A-Sun boards are a ghost town now after the restructure.
